Description: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference
proceedings of the Third International Joint Conference on
Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering, and Knowledge
Management, IC3K 2011, held in Paris, France, in October 2011. This
book includes revised and extended versions of a strict selection
of the best papers presented at the conference; 39 revised full
papers together with one invited lecture were carefully reviewed
and selected from 429 submissions. According to the three covered
conferences KDIR 2011, KEOD 2011, and KMIS 2011, the papers are
organized in topical sections on knowledge discovery and
information retrieval,… more…

Description:
Business Intelligence (BI) promises an organization the
capability of collecting and analyzing internal and external data
to generate knowledge and value, providing decision support at
the strategic, tactical, and operational levels. Business
Intelligence is now impacted by the Big Data phenomena and the
evolution of society and users, and needs to take into account
high-level semantics, reasoning about unstructured and structured
data, and to provide a simplified access and better understanding
of diverse BI tools accessible trough mobile devices. In
particular, BI applications must cope with additional
heterogeneous (often… more…

Description: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th
Computational Color Imaging Workshop, CCIW 2015, held in
Saint-Étienne, France, in March 2015. The 17 revised full papers,
presented together with 5 invited papers, were carefully reviewed
and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in
topical sections on color reproduction, color sensation and
perception, color image processing, spectral imaging, and color in
digital cultural heritage.

Description: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the
8th International Conference on Evaluation of Novel Approaches to
Software Engineering, ENASE 2013, held in Angers, France, in July
2013. The 18 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from 46 submissions. The papers reflect a growing effort
to increase the dissemination of new results among researchers and
professionals related to evaluation of novel approaches to software
engineering. By comparing novel approaches with established
traditional practices and by evaluating them against software
quality criteria, the ENASE conferences advance knowledge and
research in… more…

Description:
This post-conference proceedings volume covers all aspects of
artificial evolution, including genetic programming, swarm
intelligence, combinatorial and multi-objective optimization, as
well as theory and applications.

Description: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the
Second International Workshop on Trustworthy Eternal Systems via
Evolving Software, Data and Knowledge, EternalS, held in
Montpellier, France, in August 2012 and co-located with the 20th
European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2012). The 10
revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected
from various submissions. The papers are organized into three main
sections: natural language processing (NLP) for software systems,
machine learning for software systems, roadmap for future research.

Description: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference
proceedings of the 5th International ICST Conference on Personal
Satellite Services, PSATS 2013, held in Toulouse, France, in June
2013. The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed
and selected from numerous submissions. They are grouped in the
following topical sections: satellite for emergency and aero
communication, satellite for networking, resource management, and
air interface.

Description: About ten years ago, V.D. Goppa found a surprising connection
between the theory of algebraic curves over a finite field and
error-correcting codes. The aim of the meeting "Algebraic Geometry
and Coding Theory" was to give a survey on the present state of
research in this field and related topics. The proceedings contain
research papers on several aspects of the theory, among them: Codes
constructed from special curves and from higher-dimensional
varieties, Decoding of algebraic geometric codes, Trace codes,
Exponen- tial sums, Fast multiplication in finite fields,
Asymptotic number of points on algebraic curves, Sphere packings.
